Can anybody help me with the word pecase? I can't find it in the dictionary and I'm at my wits end.

The reason why you can't find it in the dictionary is because it's a form of the verb pecar to sin. In fact it's the imperfect subjunctive, which is fairly advanced stuff so I wouldn't worry about the details just yet. It's a bit difficult to give an off-the-shelf translation, but if you can give some context we should be able to help! :)

Si yo pecase, mi alma estaría condenada.
If I sinned, mi soul will be doomed :(
Sorry for my English :D

Don't be sorry, you do just fine :)

Incidentally, it might be useful to know (and help with learning vocabulary) that pecar is related to the English word peccadillo, which literally means small sin.
